Are u ready to take the call?
Chetan hit the bull's eye through his first novel 'Five point someone' which is a story of three IIT students who are unable to cope with the pressures of life. Now Munnabhai fame director Rajkumar Hirani is making '3 Idiots' on this with Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead, while Salman starrer ' Hello' is based on 'One night at a call centre' and slated for release on 10th October. He thinks that Bollywood is an ideal platform to reach the Hindi readers. "For me Hindi readers are as classy as the English readers. Hindi is my country's language . 
STORY: Hello... is a tale about the events that happen one night at a call center. Told through the views of the protagonist, Shyam, it is a story of almost lost love, thwarted ambitions, absence of family affection, pressures of a patriarchal set up, and the work environment of a globalized office.
Shyam is losing his girl friend because his career is going nowhere as he trudges his way around in a call center. His girl friend, Priyanka, is also an agent like him at the call canter who is about to be snatched by an NRI techno geek. There is also the aspiring model, Esha, who is hopping for the break that seems to be always already eluding her and the man about town, Vroom, who is into well, things. The housewife, Radhika, who is constantly at the receiving end of her mother-in-law and a beleaguered grandfather, Military Uncle, who has been barred from interacting with his grandchild make up the rest of the call agents who see their worlds crumbling around them as the decisions of right sizing are conveyed by Bakshi, the boss.
It is a night when dreams will finally crumble. Or will it? For there is that call from God. Narrated as a tale within a tale as a beautiful woman meets the auteur narrator and promises him a story on the condition that he has to narrate it further, Hello, based on Chetan Bhaqat's one night @ the call Center, is the one remarkable story from Tales from a Thousand and One globalizing, urban, Indian Nights. The Booker used to be the most exciting publishing moment but now you have Salman Khan playing Chetan Bhagat which is a cooler thing, says the author of bestsellers 'Five point someone' and 'One night at a call centre'. "It is exciting that modern Indian stories are finding a place in bookstores and even doing well. We are no longer writing for western audiences," says Bhagat
